Now that an idea of the wishes and
desires of President Cleveland has been
received, the first steps have been taken
in the way of preparation for his COM
ing, and will be followed up vigorously
until everything is ready. The council
committee on arrangements met the
other committees yeSteSday afternoon at
the council chamber. Ali organizations
desiring a voice in the arrangements
had been invited to send a delegation,
and the following were present:
Aid. B. Cloutier, w. II. Mills. S. W. Cooley,
c. Johnson, 7. L. Downs, Henry Oswald and
A. f. Nichols, acting with Mayor Ames.
Board of Trade-Judge Atwater, j. l. Wy
man. Robert Hale.
EXposition-C. NJ. Palmer and ". E. Steele.
Besides there were various gentle
men interested, including Col. w. b.
Bend, of st. Paul; Postmaster John j.
Ankeny, S. A. March, c. NJ. Foote, A.
ID. Smith and number of aldermen not
on the committee.
Mayor AmeS presented the CORE
spondence he has had with President
Cleveland, and made most of the Sug-
geStiOns. Judge Atwater, Mir. Ankeny
and Mr.. Steele each offered suggestions
which met general approval. The exact
programme will be telegraphed the
president for approval before it is made
public, but the general outline was
readily agreed upon. The idea of a
public procession was abandoned at the
outset, for the several reasons that such
demonstration might not be agreeable
to Mr.. Cleveland, would occupy a great
deal of time, would probably prevent all
participants from seeing the diStin-
guiShed guests and would not be of
al nj 70
agreed, however, that a military escort
would not carry these objections, but on
the other hand would be in every way
appropriate and acceptable. Col. Bend
was therefore requested to call out the
first regiment, with the understanding
that the city would pay all expense.
On motion of Mayor AmeS Sub-com-
mittee of five was appointed to map out
the programme and present it to sec
ond meeting of the general committee,
TO be held at2 p. IN. to-day. Mayor Ames,
Capt. Mills. John J. Aukney, A. D.
Smith and W. Z. Steele. The commit
tee met last night and decided upon a
drive through the principal parts of the
city, including the boulevard system,
and visit to the Exposition in the af-
ternoon. The exact details will be an
nOunced later, when the plan has been
approved. The route will not be long
enough to afterward require abridge-
ment, and will be strictly carried out,
so as not to disappoint people who may
station themselves anywhere along it.
The streets to be travelled will be put in
the best condition and kept cleared of
cumbrous vehicles during the passage
of the presidential party.
The general committee will meet
again to-day, and an executive commit
tee will be chosen. The motion was to
select one from each delegation and to
invite all delegations to send names;
but it is probable this committee will be
limited to the aldermanic committee
and several citizens without regard to
organizations. A few poorly balanced
individuals have seen fit to send out
cry of distress because the Algonquin
club offered its services, and it will Ger
tainly be good policy to omit all organ
iZations of whatever character and Sc
lect men as individuals only. The re-
ception to the president of the United
States will be a grand ovation, u1yier
any circumstances, but even the petty
littleness of few men must not be al
lowed to interfere
